February 15, 2010 - On behalf of the entire Academy, I just wanted to thank Captain Wits for his exceptional Valentine's Day dance. Although I was nervous when I saw his list, everything turned out fine! Better than fine - everything was wonderful!

As soon as everyone gathered in the cafeteria for the party, Captain Wits showed us the reason for his weird shopping list. He had built a massive Valentine's heart out of concrete and painted it red! Then he used the glue and glitter to write "Dear Academy, Will you be my Valentine?" in big letters across the middle of the heart! It was so sweet of him.

After the shock wore off, he handed everyone our own tube of glue and packet of glitter so we could help decorate the heart. By the end of the night, we were all covered in glue and glitter and laughing our heads off. I can't remember ever having a better Valentines Day!

Now all I have to do is figure out how to move a 300 pound Valentine’s out of the cafeteria…

February 11, 2010 - Captain Wits offered to throw this year’s Valentine’s Day Dance, so be prepared for a special celebration. Although he’s being very secretive about what will happen, I found a shopping list that he dropped. Here’s what it said:

THINGS TO BUY


• 300 Pounds of Cement
• 6 Gallons of Red Paint
• 25 Tubes of Glue
• 1 Cubic Yard of White Glitter

I’ll admit that I’m a little terrified of what he could be planning, but I’m sure it will be an experience none of us will forget (no matter how hard we try).
